This special episode clears things up yet tantalises
In order for this review to make any sense you need to have watched The Boy Next World first.
In the first half of this special edition we encounter a very timid, bespectacled Phu (he is alluded to in a couple of snippets from season 1) who is stalking 2nd Cir (the pony tail version). This half of the special is absolutely hilarious and the culmination of their interaction ends with Cir practically devouring Phu.
At the beginning of the second half ‘our’ Phu wakes (it’s morning and he’s lying in bed with Cir) from a dream where he is the timid and bespectacled version of himself and ‘our’ Cir gets jealous when Phu recounts his dream. In addition as this segment unfolds we get a better understanding of the time dimension anomaly.
The final scene is tantalising and I’m hoping that it’s because a second series is planned - let’s be honest there is so much scope with this concept and although Boss and Noeul are sizzling together there is so much more that could be explored like will The Hag get her claws removed? Will Loukprai marry the younger brother? What happened to create the 3rd Cir and these time dimensions etc etc.
In both halves the chemistry between the lead couple is engaging and heartfelt and in the alternate reality P’Wim and P’Jin are an established couple and very sweet to watch. The script is on point and the use of existing characters such as Tee and Nalin etc is a nice touch.
Would I watch this again? Absolutely
